. . . In her last book, Rubyâ€™s Tale, Thousands of fans across America and around the world followed Ruby from a puppy left behind like unwanted trash in an abandoned house to her meteoric rise to fame, popularity, accomplishment and community service. â€¨â€¨Now the wonderful, true story continues as she take a turn as a professional actor, wins countless friends in her travels, is drawn into an intrigue and a mystery, embarks on more adventures, takes on a protÃ©gÃ©' and even accepts an invitation to an Ivy league law school and more! â€¨

Read what the Chicago Tribune is saying. . .

"But, itâ€™s far more than fame and glory . . . The fabric of Rubyâ€™s story is also woven with her continued community volunteerism . . . and the fun or goofy stories of daily life with â€œThe Tribeâ€ Stories that every dog lover will enjoy!

After the publication of Rubyâ€™s Tale â€“ I did a story on the book for the Chicago Tribune â€“ Iâ€™d occasionally hear from Pat Bettendorf, who would keep me updated on what was new with him, Ruby and the rest of â€œThe Tribe.â€

But there are a lot of folks out there â€“ Iâ€™m going to wildly guess that Ruby has countless legions of followers â€“ who may not have been as fortunate. Pat wasnâ€™t calling them to chat, to tell Ruby stories, or to laugh. Well, knowing Pat, he might have been had he had their phone numbers. But Iâ€™m sure there were plenty of Rubyâ€™s fans who were curious about what their favorite pit bull was up to. Now we know. Pat and Ruby bring us up to speed with Rubyâ€™s Road, which fills us in on Rubyâ€™s post-â€œTalesâ€ adventures. Even though I was vaguely familiar with some of what has been happening â€“ as I said, Pat did keep in touch â€“ I was engrossed in Rubyâ€™s Road and read it in just two sittings.

The greatest ambassador any breed has ever had (sorry, Lassie) has indeed been busy. And things at the Bettendorf home have been, shall we say, interesting. Stressful and interesting. But the one constant has been sweet, loving Ruby.

But Iâ€™m not here to spill the beans. Youâ€™ve got Rubyâ€™s Road. Read it, enjoy it, buy copies for everyone you know. And donâ€™t be surprised if, while youâ€™re reading it, you instinctively reach out a hand and pet that dog sleeping next to you.

Maybe most important, do what you can to help Americaâ€™s shelter animals. Adopt, foster, volunteer at a facility, make a donation. Let that be the greatest lesson we learn from Ruby."
